The Grower-Shipper Association Foundation is proud to announce the fellows accepted to the 2011 Ag Knowledge Program (Class V). These 26 community members will participate in a ten-month executive leadership program focused on the heritage, diversity, stewardship, and complexity of Monterey County agriculture and the interdependencies that exist between agriculture, local government, and the community.

Courses focus on issues affecting and influenced by the local agricultural industry, including food safety and security, labor and immigration, technology, marketing, conservation, urban/agriculture interfacing, air, water and much more. The fellows will spend one Friday a month over the course of the program attending forums and visiting farms, processing facilities and meeting leaders and innovators in the industry. One of the program’s most popular facets includes a “day on the farm” with a local grower. Follow fellows on twitter at http://twitter.com/AgKnowledge.
